Interpreting the Industrial Heat Press Release
- Below is my own interpretation and commentary on Friday’s press release by Industrial Heat announcing their acquisition of Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat. I have broken the text down into sections to make it easier for readers to refer to certain sections if they wish to comment.

E-Cat News Coverage in Sweden and Finland
- Mats Lewan of Swedish technology magazine NyTeknik was one of the first journalists to cover the E-Cat story, and he has done some great reporting on the topic over the years, including participating in demonstrations with Andrea Rossi and Defkalion.

The American company bought the cold fusion device - working a mystery, but it is still selling well.
The newly created U.S. company has purchased the right to the Italian inventor Andrea Rossi 's E-Cat cold fusion device, says Ny Teknik .

A U.S. Company Now Owns This (Probably Fake) Cold Fusion Reactor - Cold fusion is a theoretical (and highly doubtful) reaction that makes huge amounts of energy. Last year, the inventor claimed his Energy Catalyzer fusion device could produce electricity at 1% the cost of coal. This week, a North Carolina company bought the rights to the tech. Did they get bamboozled?

Gizmodo Article Throws Doubt on E-Cat, Suggesting IH got Bamboozled
- Rossi was never convicted for scamming anyone. I have never heard Rossi claim that there was a chemical process involved in the E-Cat (he says Low Energy Nuclear Reaction is an accurate label), and we certainly have seen third party testing. Does Rossi have confidence in his device? Yes — because he knows it works. Bravado? No

It’s Official US Startup Admits to Purchasing Rossi’s E-cat LENR Technology
- A North Carolina based company called Industrial Heat LLC has come out and admitted that it now owns Andrea Rossi’s ecat low energy nuclear reaction (LENR) technology. Industrial Heat has put out a press release in which it confirmed rumors that it had spent $11 million to purchase Rossi’s device.

Extreme Tech on Industrial Heat News: Maybe - I really think that the ‘Cherokee effect’ is making some people who might have previously been dismissive of the E-Cat sit up and take notice — and with good reason, in my opinion.

Rossi Hands Off In E-Cat Production — Only Doing R&D
- Andrea Rossi reported last year that a major milestone for him was when his partner — Industrial Heat, we now know — was able to independently build an E-Cat without his involvement.

Prometeon Reports on Industrial Heat Development - From this statement it appears that Prometeon will maintain some kind of a licensee status, and collaborate with IH in the USA. We have learned, however, that so far that Swiss and German licensees have dropped their earlier licensee status, and there’s no indication that new ones will replace them. I suppose that one of the major tasks of IH will be to organize manufacturing, sales and distribution channels throughout the world.

Dubious Denial of E-Cat Reality (Guest Post)
- On Friday afternoon a press release was published announcing that the rights to Andrea Rossi’s E-Cat (Energy Catalyzer) have been acquired by Industrial Heat, LLC. In the press release, it is made clear that testing of the technology by experts has indicated it does indeed work. Instead of accepting reality, certain parties are continuing to try and dismiss the technology as being fake. They seem either to have an agenda to stop the progression of the technology, or to have deluded themselves.

This Is The Year LENR Changes The World
- Folks, it is inevitable that Homo Technologus (that's us humans in one of our most salient aspects) will find a solution to carbon-forced climate change that is technologic and paradigm shifting.

Rossi on the Evolution of the E-Cat and the Theory
- I thought this was an interesting comment from Andrea Rossi regarding his work. When someone asked him whether he could see light at the end of the tunnel he responded: ‘The evolution is permanent both for what concerns the device and the theory. The tunnel of research never ends, when you see the light out of the tunnel it is an illusion, a reflection of your present knowledge, but the absolute knowledge is always behind the artificial sun. That’s why you better make epochè of any given “knowledge”’

ADVISORY: With any
technology, you take a high risk to invest significant time or money
unless (1) independent testing has thoroughly corroborated the
technology, (2) the group involved has intellectual rights to the
technology, and (3) the group has the ability to make a success of
the endeavor.

All
truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
